Although the news from Yunzhou did not spread quickly, only those who met Xu Yunyan and the others knew that Xu Yunyan had come to Yunzhou.
But when Xu Yunyan looked at the Yunzhou City in front of him and temporarily stopped his horses, the entire Yunzhou City once again sounded the passionate horn sound.
This sound is very familiar to Xu Yunyan. It is the sound of the horn that warns of the approaching enemy and is ready to meet the enemy at any time.
When this sound sounded, Xu Yunyan waved his hand to stop the advancing team. Although Anbei's army only had five thousand soldiers, they were all under cavalry orders, and the prohibition was very imposing.
After a group of cavalry stopped walking, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty guarding the city appeared on the city head.
As time went by, the number of Tang troops increased, standing in straight rows.
Although the number cannot be compared with the cavalry under the city, their energy and spirit are not bad.
But just when the Tang army defenders appeared on the top of Yunzhou City, and they were guarding each other against the enemy troops appearing in front of them, suddenly a man on the top of Yunzhou City shouted in surprise.
"Wait, is that the flag of our Tang Army? And those people below all look like our Tang Army. You see, the clothes they wear are exactly the same as our armor."
Just after the sharp-eyed Tang garrison shouted something, the people next to him did not relax their vigilance just because the people below were Tang armors like them. , instead he was talking to other people there.
"Be careful, don't let the enemy use our Tang family's armor to trick us into opening our city gate."
Just as the vigilant defenders finished speaking, they saw a cavalryman sent by Xu Yunyan from the lower reaches of the city come to the city and start shouting.
"Are there any old soldiers who have returned from the North? Lord Protector has already come to Yunzhou. When will you come to listen to Lord Protector?"
He shouted something inexplicably that made the defenders stunned for a moment.
Although they don't know if the person in front of them is An Beijun? But the Protector and the others knew about it.
This is the great hero who once created brilliant achievements in Yunzhou City. Thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled defeated tens of thousands of Turks.
Just thinking about it makes your blood boil!
However, the cavalry arranged by Xu Yunyan were destined to be disappointed.
Although he shouted at the foot of Yunzhou City, no one responded to them. However, with the appearance of this team, the atmosphere on top of the city was strange, but they looked like they would definitely fight to the end. The passers-by couldn't help but feel Feeling here.
Elites are elites, and they are vigilant. No wonder they can defeat the Turkic enemy in such numbers.
However, many Tang soldiers didn't know what to do for a moment, and looked at their backbone again.
The soldiers looked at their captain.
The Wu Commander looked at the Commander.
I went to see the captain again.
The team is looking at the brigade commander.
The brigade commander looks at the captain.
Etc., etc.
When everyone focused their attention on the city gate guard, the city gate guard turned his head again to look at the Governor of Yunzhou who had appeared above the city.
Yunzhou is located in a special location, and Li Shimin set up a governor here who is also a member of the Li clan.
After he appeared, the soldiers and horses under the city were suddenly shocked.
"How can it be?"
What he said made the soldiers in front of him stunned for a moment.
The governor who looked at them didn't believe the soldiers appearing in front of him. Could they be enemies?
Just when everyone was clenching their weapons and preparing to attack the soldiers under the city, the governor said another sentence.
"My dear, why are the champions here? Come to the city quickly to welcome him."
This sudden surprise left the soldiers guarding the city speechless.
"It turns out that the Governor knows the people below, and they are your friends, right? You didn't ask what happened when you just arrived, and you just went to greet them?"
However, although the soldiers guarding the city were confused, they still followed the order of Governor Yunzhou and went to open the city gate to welcome Xu Yunyan and others into the city.
When Xu Yunyan saw the city gate open and several cavalrymen running out of the city quickly, he also led the team forward.
But the closer Xu Yunyan got, the more surprised he was. Isn't this Li Shentong? He didn't expect him to be in Yunzhou.
Li Shentong came to Xu Yunyan and laughed.
"Long time no see, Champion."
Xu Yunyan hurriedly clasped his fists on his horse.
"The last general has met General Li."
Li Shentong was not happy at this moment.
"I said, Champion Marquis, you are also a general after all, and you also enjoy the treatment of a prince with the dignity of a marquis. You really make the Champion Marquis the most powerful person in the world. Why are you so polite to me?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head.
"You can't lose etiquette, right? You are at least a prince?"
"What are you talking about, kid?"
Li Shentong looked at Xu Yunyan and said politely, "So what if I am a king? Isn't it not as brilliant as your record in front of you? Even if I don't want this king, it's better to be a champion!"
But just as Li Shentong finished speaking, Xu Yunyan said something half-joking.
"Yes, as long as you are not afraid that the champion will die early, I am willing to give up the title of the champion to the general."
"Forehead?"
Li Shentong was choked.
The word champion is unlucky.
The one in front of him was the third one he knew. The first two seemed to be under a curse. Those who were crowned champions all died young.
However, Li Shentong's expression was awkward for a while before he reacted again.
"You, you, you dare to make fun of me. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the city first."
Li Shentong also knows the priorities of things, and he is Li Shimin's absolute confidant. He also knows some things. Since Xu Yunyan came here, there must be His Majesty's arrangements.
Without a few arrangements, it was absolutely impossible for Xu Yunwen to bring his soldiers and horses from the Anbei Protectorate to this place.
As for the other soldiers? Li Shentong didn't believe it, and the banner he used was Anbei Army.
But before Xu Yunyan and the others could enter the city, puffs of smoke and dust were already rising all around outside Yunzhou City.
Seeing the smoke and dust, Li Shentong couldn't help but change his expression.
"How is this going?"
However, Xu Yunyan cupped his fist next to Li Shentong.
"Don't worry, General. These should be the old soldiers I arranged to go out. I originally asked them to go back to their hometown to visit relatives. If some like-minded people who are interested in joining the army are also brought into the army, I think it should be them."
After Xu Yan finished speaking, as expected, some vigilant soldiers rushed to Li Shentong from a distance.
"General, all the people here are people from the surrounding villages."
Li Shentong relaxed at this moment, "I didn't expect you to be able to summon so many people. It seems that your Majesty's decree for you is quite friendly?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head and said, "I want to make General Li laugh."
Xu Yunyan then took out the two decrees given to him by Li Shimin and respectfully handed them to Li Shentong, letting Li Shen pass them through his eyes.
Li Shentong didn't treat Xu Yunyan politely. It was actually His Majesty's order, and Xu Yunyan took it out, maybe he wanted to let himself know.
Then he opened it and saw that the first one was unremarkable. It just inexplicably asked him to lead troops south, but the second one allowed him to do things easily and recruit troops. This made Li Shentong a little confused.
"I wonder if the champion can clear up my doubts?"
After Li Shentong said something, Xu Yunyan nodded.
"General, I can clear up my doubts, but this place seems inappropriate."
Li Shentong looked at him and smiled.
"What's wrong with this? Let's go to the side. Aren't you still waiting for these people to come? You should make arrangements for them first.
If they can't be accommodated, there are still a lot of idle places in my Yunzhou camp, so it's okay to go to my right Xiaowei. "
Xu Yunyan was shocked at this moment.
"Did the general come to Yunzhou with You Xiaowei?"
Li Shentong nodded.
"Yes, most of the soldiers and horses of my right guard are in Yunzhou. Doesn't this also take over the governor of Yunzhou? Otherwise, why would there be so many defenders above us?"
At this moment, Xu Xuyunyan suddenly realized.
"Yes, how come there are so many soldiers gathered in Yunzhou City? And the speed is so fast. It turns out that it is the credit of General Li. It is gratifying."
Xu Yunyan suddenly congratulated Li Shentong, leaving Li Shentong stunned.
"What bad thoughts are you holding in your heart? Are you still congratulating me?"
"How dare you talk about the general? You have wronged me!"
After Li Shentong finished muttering, Xu Yunyan looked at him and I complained, but Li Shentong didn't have any embarrassment.
"Aren't you a bad boy? I remember when I first met you, you dealt with me miserably."
This Li Shentong talked about the first encounter with Xu Yunyan, although they did not meet on the battlefield.
However, he was taught a miserable lesson outside Chang'an City and had no temper at all.
Therefore, Li Shentong is quite optimistic about Xu Yunyan, who is capable and accomplished, but it is still good to be able to take advantage of him.
At this moment, Xu Yunyan didn't know what to do or what to say in front of Li Shentong, so he had to scratch his head randomly.
"General Li is already like this, so the younger one will arrange for them first."
Li Shentong nodded and waved. After seeing Li Shentong's gesture, the defenders at the top of the city began to go back to their homes, each looking for their mother, and doing whatever they needed to do.
When Xu Yunyan came to his old soldiers, his old soldiers got off their horses excitedly and came to see Xu Yunyan. The young men behind the old soldiers also looked the same.
Although many of them didn't know Xu Yunyan, a few years ago, these young men were still half-grown-ups. In the past few years, he has grown into an upright man.
They all took refuge in Yunzhou City during Xu Yunyan's bloody battle in Yunzhou. Now they saw their great benefactor and cried with joy. Seeing these people shouting "Grand Governor" one after another, although they were not rewarded by Li Shimin's Li Tang Dynasty Xu Yunyan, but protecting the environment and the people was so impressive in their hearts.
The words of the Governor also made Xu Yunyan deeply moved.
"You guys didn't expect us to meet again."
Xu Yunyan said nothing more after one sentence, and was completely drowned out by the waves of cheers.
Even if he says something, these people in front of him probably won't be able to hear it, and they won't let him say it.
However, after Xu Yunyan was polite to them, he began to arrange for them, of course with the guarantee of the old soldier.
Everyone hoped to follow Xu Yunyan, and the dozens of old soldiers who went out easily would have thousands of men when they came back.
At this time, Xu Yunyan's team easily expanded to 8,000.
After Xu Yunyan arrived in front of Li Shentong triumphantly, Li Shentong watched some soldiers around him come to report.
Some residents in the city also want to follow Xu Yunyan.
I don’t know who spread the news that Xu Yunyan can command the newly recruited soldiers, but now I think only Li Shentong can do such a thing, right?
By the time Xu Yunyan and Li Shentong actually entered the mansion to discuss the meaning of Li Shimin's will, that is, when Xu Yunyan solved Li Shentong's doubts, Xu Yunyan's troops had already reached 10,000 people. And they are all fully equipped.
Who told Liu Heitai to leave behind many treasures?
